We came out to eat here to celebrate my birthday (husband and daughter with myself). The hostess seated us promptly (it was early evening on a Monday, so we did not expect a wait) and then our server came to take our drink order and bring bread. My first issue with this restaurant is that it was FREEZING in there; now, I understand (as someone who has worked in the food service industry previously for several years) that places keep it on the cooler side so that patrons don't get too comfortable and cause a lower turnover for the restaurants, but this was too much. My second issue, was the bread - it was hard, over baked and lacked any flavor. Perhaps that is why they serve it with the oil/cheese/pepper dipping concoction? I wasn't about to let those first two issues ruin our dinner, so we ordered and waited. I ordered the steak tips (medium) with a side wedge salad and the Israeli cous cous salad, my husband a burger, and my daughter the kids macaroni and cheese. My daughter's food came out quickly, hot and tasted great. About 8-10 minutes later the rest of the food arrived. It all looked good. That was where it ended (for me). The wedge was dressed in this overbearing horseradish dressing (if you like horseradish, then you may enjoy this; I only like it in mild, small quantities), the cous cous salad had a funky tang to it and some of the veggies were overdone, and the steak tips were so fatty that they were practically squishing when you would touch it with a fork. I cut into one of the ones that looked more done to see if I could salvage any of the meat, but I could barely tolerate the mouthfeel. Oh it was disgusting. My husband said his burger was decent, so I'll give them a pro on that front. When our waitress came back around, she noticed that I had barely touched any of my food and asked what was the matter, I explained, and she offered to have another steak tip dinner made (I told her that I truly did not like sending anything back or complaining, as I had worked as a sever before and know it is a pain in the butt) and I did concede this time because I was so looking forward to having a nice birthday dinner and this was such a complete disappointment. We took the new steak tip dinner to go home with us. We tried it at home; it was exactly the same. Sigh. Take home message - don't order the steak tips. We probably won't be coming back here any time soon.
Hello,
I am so disappointed to hear about your experience. It certainly sounds like your meal was not up to our usual quality standards so please accept my sincere apology. I will be sharing your comments with the Head Chef so that he can review them with the kitchen staff. To be perfectly honest, I have not had any similar complaints about the steak tips.
Since you were not pleased I would be happy to send you a gift card to reimburse you and I will include an additional amount towards your next visit. Please reach out to me directly at guestrelations@nyajoes.com with your full name and mailing address and please reference your name her on TripAdvisor.
Thank you,
Jimmie
I am only giving rating of a 3 because there isn't one for "good" vs "very good". This was my first visit, Julio was very attentive and we had several children with us. I got the pot stickers which were very good. I opted for a salad. In tasting other food, my only complaint is that none of the food was hot- all of it was luke warm. Otherwise good food and service. I would visit again.
One note: suggest raising the big screen at the community table, it blocks the view of the lower table by it, the tables closest to the front door. Our view of the game was blocked when a party sat at the community table in front of the screen.
Hello,
Thanks for your feedback which I will pass along to the management team. Feedback from our guests is used to make changes and improvements as needed. I will make sure that Julio is recognized for a job well done.
We will be looking forward to seeing you again real soon.
I chose Not Your Average Joe’s to celebrate my birthday. The service was stellar, the food cooked to perfection. I have never had a bad experience there. It’s always first-rate.
I am so pleased that you enjoyed everything. Thank you for celebrating your birthday with us. See you soon!
This restaurant has a good casual atmosphere. The wait staff was pleasant and efficient. But the food in my opinion was only average. I opted for the personal size pizza while the rest of my party had either hamburgers and meatloaf. Prices were a little high for what you got. I won't rush back to this restaurant anytime soon.
